Chapter 594: Political Influence Movies
The entertainment industry in any country in the world will be affected by politics, and movies will naturally be no exception.
Although Hong Kong is known as freedom and democracy under the colonization of the British Hong Kong government, especially ideological freedom and freedom of speech, in fact, the Hong Kong film industry has always been seriously affected by political influence.
Before the Civil War, the Hong Kong government's regulations on film supervision were quite relaxed. As our party gained power on the mainland, relations between China and Hong Kong gradually became tense.
In 1953, the Hong Kong government ordered the deportation of more than 20 left-wing film workers. This incident led to the Hong Kong government's conclusion of the relatively strict electronic inspection regulations that year, which was led by the Director of the News Department, responsible for government propaganda and news affairs, and the film inspection work became institutionalized at this point.
However, the inspection work at this time was only carried out under "administrative orders" and had no formal legal basis. Therefore, the Hong Kong government often prohibits films that may anger our party because of its relationship with the mainland. For example, "Goodbye China" produced in Hong Kong in 1973 was banned for describing the content of intellectuals fleeing to Hong Kong in a special period. The Taiwanese film "The Emperor of Heaven" directed by Bai Jingrui was officially released in Hong Kong for one day after it was officially released in Hong Kong in 1981, which all reflects the serious problem of the Hong Kong government's "influence of inspections with politics."
This is also the reason why the movie rating system has been buzzing before.
However, Qiao Feng never expected that the film rating system had just been established and implemented, and the inspection standards began to become loose again, which would allow Hong Kong filmmakers to gain a more free creative space. As the first Hong Kong-produced restricted film after the film rating system was established, Black Sun 731, was once again under political influence.
This... Qiao Feng doesn't know what the Hong Kong government feels. Anyway, he thinks that the news will be exposed in the media and let the public know it. This slap in the face will definitely make the Hong Kong government feel so exciting.
"I arranged the black sun 731 to draw. "When Qiao Feng was puzzled, who was still busy buying houses everywhere in the mainland, Li Zhi, who received a call from Qiao Feng, calmly explained: "The Hong Kong government received multiple official and unofficial protests from Japan, and the Governor of the Hong Kong through the Film and Television Office and the Inspection Office. Mr. Shao, Mr. Zou, and Mr. Lei meant that it was best not to get into evil with the Governor of the Hong Kong. We have also been released for a month, and the attendance rate has dropped a lot, approaching the line of the lower drawing. I don't want you to make it difficult, so I took my own initiative."
Well, as the general manager of the theater chain after replacing Zeng Zhiwei and the full-time assistant to Qiao Feng, who is now almost in name only, Li Zhi does have the right to make the decision to draw a movie, even if that movie was personally urged to be released for two months.
There is no way, who would make it seem to others that Lizhi means Qiao Feng? Besides, Lizhi is also the general manager, who dares not listen to her decision?
But, Xiao Yu is so stupid that he stretches his hands too long.
The mainland is now open and you are in the honeymoon period, so it attaches great importance to your protests. In addition, it is an official country and a country that believes in diplomacy without any trivial matters. Therefore, under the pressure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Yindu agency had to deal with it carefully.
But, is it good to be Hong Kong now? I'm not a company with a government background like the Yindu organization? I won't be able to protest this.
My company is not an administrative order and has to obey orders. He actually wants to use government pressure to make me submit. You are too fucking to take me seriously.
It would be fine if the matter involves the mainland itself, after all, Hong Kong is backed by the mainland, and the influence of the mainland is very much beyond what everyone thinks.
Just like Tang Shuxuan's goodbye to China, the movie was banned by the British Hong Kong authorities under the name of "may damage the friendly relations of neighboring regions [and] hindering public security."
It was not until the 1980s that the film finally passed the review. Of course, it happened that the draft Regulations for the 87th Inspection of the Regulations last year caused controversy among the public, and the public was extremely sensitive to freedom suppression. "Goodbye, China" was a film that was not very radical after the political analysis of things changed.
However, it is now a young Japanese protesting, and it is a big deal. In terms of the influence of the votes, young Japanese is definitely not a reasonable votes for most Hong Kong movies, and it is not even Southeast Asia. It would be amazing that ordinary Hong Kong movies can be screened in Macau and Taiwan.
The market in Japan is definitely not something that can be entered by a small film company.
Therefore, Japan's unhappiness has little impact on Hong Kong films, and if this dissatisfaction is at the government level, they dare not even protest openly.
Because, facts are facts, and they themselves know that they will be guilty and afraid of making a big deal. This will expose their ugliness to the eyes of people all over the world. Therefore, they can only protest through official indifference.
Even if the strong protests of the young Japanese people, Qiao Feng didn't care, let alone the sneaky and sneaky protests of official diplomatic channels.
Qiao Feng doesn't care about Japan's protests, and of course he doesn't care about the pressure put in by the Hong Kong and British governments and the Governor.
You should know that Tang Shuxuan's goodbye in China was reviewed and approved before the hierarchical system was released because of the public's abnormal sensitivity and disgust of freedom clamping, not to mention that the black sun is destined to have greater influence and can sting the audience's hearts more 731.
Although, Black Sun 731 is destined not to see too many people, many people who have watched it will be very uncomfortable and even scared. However, the influence of this film is definitely not as small as the impact of the bloody and cruel scenes in the movie.
The influence of this movie is not limited to what the movie itself wants to express. The impact of this movie is the joint blessing of the fourteen years of the War of Resistance against Tens of Millions of Innocent People, the death of 40 million people, and the huge losses that are almost ruined by a huge country.
This movie presents not only the inhumane test of Unit 731, it presents national hatred and family hatred.
Just like the statement added by director Mou Dunfu at the beginning and end of the film, friendship is friendship, history is history.
Friendship can be the main tone of the present, but history cannot be forgotten because of this.
Qiao Feng did not care about the protests of Little Japan at all, nor did he care about the pressure of the Hong Kong and British government. With the historical significance and the blessing of the national hatred and family hatred in this movie, and the public is extremely sensitive to freedom suppression, the special hierarchy system has been officially passed and implemented, as long as the protests of Little Japan are fartted, and the pressure from the Hong Kong government is ignored. Otherwise, they are interfering in the laws and breaking the law. When they make a fuss, they are crying.
If they dare to be chaotic, they will be vomited by the general public in Hong Kong if they are exposed directly.
